The establishment of ICCM was announced in Beijing in August 2016 by a large number of famous Chinese mathematicians. This organization consists of mathematicians of Chinese descent who are spread all around the world. The organization’s major function is to promote and advance mathematics within the extended Chinese community and to build good relationships between Chinese mathematicians and other mathematicians through out the world. The International Consortium of Chinese Mathematicians shall hold an annual meeting every year. For every three years, the annual meeting is expanded to a large meeting called The International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians. The location of the ICCM annual meetings will rotate among different cities in the Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.
